So, for this year i set myself the task for finally cosplaying one of my favourite characters from my all time favourite movies/book. The convention i want to wear it to, is London Film and Comic Con in July.
Due to time and money, i'm not sure which dress i will be able to do. I want ultimately do her purple/blue dress and riding cape like this:
OR, her white evenstar dress:
but out of sheer volume of fabric i know both of them will end up being expensive. alternatively, as my cheaper and quicker option, i would like to make her dream vision dress, like this:
(there are not many references for this, so if people have other pictures, they would be greatly received)
i'm starting to gather materials and make some progress, which i will post all here in this thread. I'm also making her butterfly circlet/crown, because, well it's beautiful! although i dislike her green dress in which she wears it with, purely because the colour wont suit me, which is why i've refrained from making it. you can see the crown here:
Hair:
i'll be using my own hair, with a half wig to add length to the back. i've bought one from ebay which i'll post some pictures of when i get it.
Make-Up:
the make-up used on Liv Tyler was:
MAC Studio Finish Matt Foundation in NC 15
MAC Sheertone Blush in Pink Swoon
Lancome Definicls mascara in Black
Mac Front Blush in Spice, used as an eyeshadow
Clinque Brow Shaper in Shaping taupe
Lacome Photogenic powder in Ivorie
Clinque Almost Lipstick in Black Honey
Evenstar necklace:
I already have one, you can buy cheap or expensive ones offline pretty much anywhere!
Shoes:
i need a little help here, i know that elves are often barefoot, and i've seen the green dress shoes are like slippers in the same colour. but other than that i've seen no other references of shoes with her other dresses.
Ears:
I've bought so elf ear tips from ebay, and again, i will post some pictures when i have them
thankyou for reading and i hope we can help eachother, and i can post alot of progress pictures for everyone
